Trinity Fatu has found a new glow in the rings of Impact Wrestling. The former WWE superstar previously known as Naomi was in search of a new chapter after more than a decade. Herself and Sasha Banks (Mercedes Moné) stepped away from WWE in May 2022 while holding the women’s tag team championship amid creative differences and growing frustrations. They decided to bet on themselves with Fatu specifically taking some time to really contemplate her future. Almost a year later the dancer-turned pro wrestler revealed that next anticipated move by debuting for Impact Wrestling. Right from her electric neon-coated entrance, it was clear Fatu had made the right decision. The newest member of the Knockouts division entered the mix rather quickly with standout matches against the likes of Kilynn King, Gisele Shaw, Jody Threat, and Savannah Evans. However, her biggest rival out of the gate is another WWE alum Deonna Purrazzo.

It was almost 10 years ago when Darren Young (Fred Rosser) came out publicly as the first openly gay pro wrestler signed to WWE. In 2015, Sonya Deville (Daria Berenato) followed suit while on WWE’s reality competition series Tough Enough. There has been a trickledown effect since then with more performers across the industry feeling comfortable publicly living their truths. Among them in today’s era are All Elite Wrestling’s Anthony Bowens, Impact Wrestling’s Gisele Shaw (Gisele Mayordo), and the National Wrestling Alliance’s Pollo Del Mar (Paul E. Pratt). These three have blazed a trail all their own and are proud representations of how far the business has gone. While each admits there is still much work to be done, they believe we are most definitely headed in the right direction. Here these Pride ring warriors open up about their respective journeys.
